Junior Steve Wolke had six RBIs and three doubles in an 11-7 loss by the University of Wisconsin-Platteville baseball to Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana.

The six RBI by the Kenosha native are just two shy of the school record and the most by a Pioneer since a seven RBI effort by Jason Jacobson on April 2, 2010 vs. Carroll. The loss drops UW-Platteville to 1-7 on the 2012 season. Tyler Jacobson and Levi Ney each had two hits in the loss for the Pioneers.

Franklin (11-2) scored two runs in each of the first three innings and added five more in the fifth inning en route to the win. The Grizzlies outhit the Pioneers by a 15 to 10 margin in the series finale. Nick Stoia and Jesse Wilson each had three leads in the win.

Trailing 6-0, UW-Platteville got two of them back in the fourth on the first of three doubles by Wolke. His three two-base hits ties the school record and becomes only the eighth player in program history to achieve that feat. After Cody Luther singled and Levi Ney walked to start the inning, Wolke drove the two in with a double to the gap in right center.

The Grizzlies added to their lead in the sixth with five more runs to build a 11-2 advantage. The Pioneers came back with three in the eighth - two of which came in on a second two-RBI double by Wolke and two more in the ninth on the final two-RBI double by the Pioneer designated hitter.

Next, UW-Platteville will host Loras on Tuesday, Mar. 20 at 4 pm at Kendall Murray Field in its home opener.
